On Sunday, the team enjoyed some more bus adventures courtesy of the Stranraer club. David, Hugh, Hew, Jock, and John took us south to the Mull of Galloway to see the lighthouse and the cliff from which we could see Belfast, the Isle of Man, the cost of Scotland and (on a clear day) England. The weather turned out beautifully, and after lunch we saw some incredible images as the sun shone done on the green hillsides. From the lighthouse, we went to the Blandoch Distillery and had a tour through the building and an explanation of the entire process of making whisky. Of course, we did a little taste-testing too. After that, we headed to Wigtown to see a bit of the book festival there. Somehow we ended up sampling wine there too. We also filled our time on the bus by singing lots of songs, and we managed to come up with quite a few that we all knew, and some others that might be best never to learn :o) The club treated us to a great meal Sunday night and more socializing at David and Barbara Campbell's house. Monday will be a fairly relaxed day with just a lunch Rotary meeting to attend and give our presentation, some free time after that, and another get-together with the club in the evening.
